It’s nearly a year since my dad sadly passed away, October 14th. It is quickly creeping up on me. I’m feeling all kinds of sadness again & the lump in my throat is back. I’ve been keeping my self busy looking after mum, my children my work. I just really miss my dad & can’t believe how has it been nearly a year already.
Just feeling low. On that day I’m going on a little hike I’ve decided I’m going to enjoy a cup of tea (his favourite ) with his favourite coconut ring biscuits, his favourite bourneville chocolate just take a little bit of my day to remember him 
gosh i really miss him.

Sorry you are feeling low. It is a struggle and I don’t think there’s any specific timetable for ‘getting over it.’ It’s really nice that you’ve chosen to remember him like this. I hope that you feel better and calmer. Sending all good wishes.

Hi LaLou,
My lovely Mum passed away also on 14th October last year after a very short illness with cancer. I too can’t believe that a year has almost gone by without her. I miss her so much every day, nothing is the same now. I have spent a lot of my time supporting my Dad that I don’t think I’ve really started to process the grief. I have booked the day off work but unsure what I will do yet. It’s a lovely idea how you will remember your Dad - my Mum too loved her cup of tea and rich tea biscuits

That’s a lovely idea.
On father’s day I bought a Toblerone for those of us left behind to share. My dad loved a Toblerone.
His birthday is this month. I’ve made a list of lots of the things I miss about him, and I think I’m going to handwrite it and share it with the family.
His birthday is on a weekend, so we’ll have to think about what we can do, that day.
There’s a can of Coke of his, still in the fridge. I think we should have that on his birthday. Even though he never remembered that I don’t drink Coke 
. He would always offer me it and I’d have to remind him that I don’t drink it. But for him, I will
